server.xml for ldap connection

[Rahul R]

Hi All,


This is the snippet from my server.xml of my tomcat which takes care of
ldap connection.

<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
                debug="99"
                authentication="simple"
                referrals="follow"
                userSubtree="true"
                roleSubtree="true"
                *connectionName="GLOBAL\UserName"*
                *connectionPassword="Secret"*
                connectionURL="ldap://global.ad.myCompany.com:389";
                userBase="dc=Global,dc=ad,dc=myCompany,dc=com"
                userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})"

roleBase="OU=Groups,OU=PROD,DC=Global,DC=ad,DC=myCompany,DC=com"
                roleName="cn"
                roleSearch="(&amp;(objectClass=group)(member={0}))"
         />

But I have different environments like development, qa, staging etc. Hence
the functional a/c which connects to the ldap changes accordingly. Is there
any way to use some variable which reads the username/password from a file?
So that who ever owns that environment can simply change the
username/password in that file. There is already a property file in the
conf folder of the tomcat which is used for taking some environment
specific values by a jsp file, which is under webapps folder. Can I make
use of that for having these values? It would be a great help if some one
can help me here.
